Making Room for the Light

For so many years I have prepared for this moment – and certainly over the last decade or so, I have carefully chosen my food and made the necessary changes to my lifestyle as I healed my body. And, right now I feel deep down as if my defences are finally rising and coming into their own.

All of this work has been done on myself (body, mind and soul), in order to be strong, healthy and to have a functioning immune system not to mention all the other side benefits of mind and body connection.

So, why might this be so important you might ask? Good question! First of all, I realized quite some time ago, that our collective immune function (on the earth) was pretty near zero. We have subjected ourselves to so much in such a short period of time, our bodies have been struggling to keep up.

These toxins have done nearly everything imaginable to bring us down and then keep us down.

One thing I have known in my bones for all of my life (I am an Intuitve!LOL) is that there are viruses coming….we (the inhabitants of earth) will have to face something horrific once again.

I say again because throughout our recent history we have been devastated by several plagues, rampant bacteria (TB) as well as flu viruses that have brought millions of people into dark places and kept them there.

We need to be in working order (starting with our physical body) – or else we won’t be able to cope with these nasty bugs. And no, a vaccine won’t do….we can’t keep heaping toxins on top of toxins and wait for health to magically appear.

Where to start with giving your body and immune system a boost right now? Perhaps remove the top three toxins in your diet (look at your ‘addictions’) and find a source of clean, untreated drinking water….

However, whenever anyone asks me what is my absolute top recommendation for health (on all levels and dimensions) – I can only think of one group of toxins that must go….and that is the Deadly Nightshade (potato, tomato, aubergine, peppers, chillies, gogi berries etc.) family.

These carry the energy of death….and are completely contradictory to health, healing and any form of spiritual life. I have been Night Shade free now for several years...during which time my spirit has healed and lifted in new ways and places. 

When walking the spiritual path, all energy must be considered and none is more important then the energy of our food. Perhaps it's time to remove a little darkness, to make room for the light....

On My Way - the Doorway

Off to an early start today – after great dreams last night about the garden, herbs and making foods etc. with the garden harvest. It’s always nice to wake up feeling as if you have travelled somewhere important during the night hours…

Or am I the only one who feels that way? LOL

Actually I often have the sense of being very far away at night (and something throughout the day too!) but sometimes it just feels significant or as if there is a very deep purpose to be understood here within the context of my life.

So…I am back on planet earth this morning having ventured into the world of herbs during the night – visiting and exploring these wonderful dimensions and all things Faerie – it always feels like home.

Even though the rain pounded the roots and windows, seemingly all night long – the day is quite still and calm at the moment. And the rain has stopped even though the air is misty and wet.

It’s a real soft Irish morning here in West Cork….you can almost hear the grass grow. Perhaps a day that dreams are made of – one thing I do know for certain, my night dreams (dimension 20) are far more about my life then my waking day.

If that makes any sense, (it does to me) and I have long felt that I am in search of a door to walk through – an energetic portal – in order to shift back into my life, switching dimensions from night into day.

For some reason I even think I know when this reversal happened – and it is medication related….years ago when I was a child and given copious amounts of antibiotics for the strep throats, chest coughs and colds, I always seemed to have.

These antibiotics do far more damage then just knock the life out of us – they rob us of the life we are born to live. Bringing the gut back, repopulating our guts (I have my own methods as a Clinical Nutritionist that really work!) is the only way forward into light and life.

Have a healthy day,

Re-Membering Our Spiritual Genes

It’s been a busy couple of days since we broke our fast – quite interesting and a bit of an eye opener actually. When I am fasting, detoxing, cleansing and otherwise focused on each moment – I really do live or experience things differently.

It's as if there is an intensity to my senses which lends itself to my activities throughout the day. When I am fasting I am aware of the layers and threads of my life, my thoughts and energy field.

However, that all shifts once I am back onto the food days – into being far more aware of overall life -long patterns – such as what is breaking apart and what is coming back together in the days following my detox.

It can seem as different as night and day in some respects, but over the long term 'it' (this work) is just about getting to know my body through water and food. Or in terms of the affects of the earth energies contained in each of these nutrients, on me and the body’s physical tissues.

In the beginning days after a detox, I really miss that one aspect of cleansing – clarity of mind or at least thought I did (LOL). Now I just realize I still have clarity of mind and perhaps far more of it when I am eating and my tummy is full of digesting food – it is just in a totally different dimension.

To be honest, the most important thing I have learned over the years walking and talking and living the spiritual path, is the more you pay attention, listen to your body and work with it in a kind, gentle, disciplined way – the more present you are.

That in itself is not profound. What is profound about all of this is how fasting, eating the right kinds of foods and following the path of the seasons around the sun awakens an ancient time line deep inside of our DNA.

A life-line or lineage of human spiritual genes that must be re-membered to be experienced.

Sunrise

January and It's Potential Energy...

Very strange energy about the place right now - things are changing rapidly within - there is a new moon on it's way and for the first time in awhile, I am keenly aware of it. It's as if it is making it's presence known days in advance of it's arrival.

This must be an important moon at least for those of us paying attention! LOL Perhaps the moon is coming more into focus for those of us who are walking this spiritual path. Or then again, maybe it's just me....

So, another rainy Saturday - but all is not lost - it's mild and warm outside even if it is wet. There is something quite wonderful about these early days of January - as if all of the potential energy for the entire year to come starts to unlock and spread out underneath our feet.

Right now you may notice that things are starting to speed up a tiny bit. It is the end of an age after all - and the Mayan never said it was the end of the world. Perhaps it was the end of their 'time' or their world - there are many coexisting at the same time.

That seems to be what people were mostly forgetting or even unaware of. When we look out across the garden - if we do not take into account the many realities, kingdoms and domains we are seeing, we are missing the whole point of being here. 

Life cannot and does not exist only on one single plain. There are of course worlds within worlds - each of us interacting, overlapping and hopefully interrelating with each other during the span of our lives (and each day).

At one time when the earth was much less polluted and life was lived closer to nature - we were far more aware of the worlds we live in and our place in them. These predictions of endings, changes and even great shifts would not have startled or unsettled us.

To be in touch with nature - to understand how and why - but most of all to simply listen to our bodies and the ancient wisdom contained within - we would have known intuitively that one ending is only another beginning....

And something, life in the many different realms and dimensions will go on. Because life is just like that...

Black Swan at Fota Park in Cobh...

Happy Solstice - Welcome to the Flip Side!

Happy Solstice to everyone out there - it's a special day all around and of course it was lovely to wake up on the flip side - to see that we are all still here. I mean, like really, where else would we go? Unless, it was to other realms...

But that would be some kind of feat wouldn't it. To disappear millions of people into thin air - away with the fairies - wouldn't it then be way too crowded in the fairy tree? No, that certainly was not going to happen. Besides, you would have to be of a fairy vibration in order to even get an invitation to their massive parties...

So - it seems we are stuck here. At least for the time being anyway until someone comes up with something better. Like an open door in time where we might be able to walk through (or fall) down a worm hole into other dimensions.

As far as the world still being here - now that is where the change has taken place. The people are here, but the world we used to know and live in, has dissolved and things are now quite different. With everyone around the planet (well, you know, lots of us) focused on change, shift and energy - we did create something....

Some little bit of the evil that has invaded and taken up space in our lives has now been lifted, along with the dark world it inhabited. That darkness is no longer a part of our reality - it is finally passed and we have come through to the other side.

Perhaps now the goodness that resides in the hearts and minds of humankind can take new roots and grow to even greater heights then ever before. In the meantime, wickedness, evil and those on the naughty list you have been put on notice - Father Christmas knows all about you!

Solstice Sunrise in Leap West Cork 12/21/12 

Getting Ready to Party with the Fairies!

Today is day 14 and I am nearly there - just a couple more days to go and I will have reached my goal for this month. Right now I have a sore throat, my voice is nearly gone and I am feeling quite achy -- it might be the cold that the kids had (I'm still in denial however).....

So, today is a new day and I do love Mondays - it's nice to feel like you have a fresh start each and every week. This week is the one we have been waiting for all year - our Solstice celebration is the biggest event at our house - and we are preparing for it moment by moment.

It's not difficult to become a little child like during this time of the year - everything is so exciting. Even the energy in the air is charged with greater good, love and kindness - from the Universe or the Earth herself? 

Or perhaps from some distant star further afield where they might also celebrate something special at the same time of year. I often wonder if all the other dimensions and earth elementals also celebrate in the same or similar ways as us.

The sun's Solstice will occur in exactly the same way for them, and of course it is marked in some special way. Today this was our topic of discussion - as we make our decorations and festive art - Do the fairies, gnomes and earth energies have a tree and decorate?

We like to think so...perhaps their party will be far more elaborate then ours with preparations, carried out in sacred space. We have lost the reverence of this season and disconnected from it's real meaning of the return of the light so vital to all of nature (and us).

What we have forgotten is perhaps our roles in the bigger picture, become lost in the shuffle to and from the shops buying things we don't want or need. Instead it might be far more important for our spirits to spend some time with our loved ones walking and connecting to nature or bringing it inside....

After all, we have a party to attend!

It's a Feast Day! Samhain...A Time Lapse Door to the Dead

Well we are all delighted to get this this important feast day on our calendar -- this is a day which has been steeped in magic, change and shifting energy over the centuries. However for the most part, it's deeper meanings remain clear. All you really need do is lightly scratch the surface.

Today being associated with all things that are dead or passed on into these other worlds makes it's meaning clear in that we should look to the shadow realms. Here we will find all that we are seeking - if we dare to pick our way amongst the old bones.

I have long wondered why there is so much fear associated with Halloween - scary night that it is. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that these doors are not always open to us - what if this one particular door was only open at this one time of the year?

Whatever those of us who are in the living dimensions need to find beyond that door, must then be retrieved at this point. It's a bit like a time lapse - the door opens for a short period of time, we need to go through, do the work on the systems, find what we have lost and return to the land of the living. Intact.

Then again what if we don't really have a choice? What if all of humankind gets thrust into these shadowlands for this brief period of time and then are expected to be able to navigate our way safety back home at the end of the day?

Of course those of us walking a spiritual path would have a particular interest in traversing these boundaries at this time of year - this is 'all souls', or an opportunity to piece back together our souls. Which have been shattered, broken and lost along these lifetimes of change, abuse, fear, hatred and all manner of negativity. Now is an opportunity to set things right. 

Keep looking, there is a long night ahead of us.....

Reflection of Your Shadow Self

Nothing better than a long weekend to get your feet on the ground once again and to bring life back into perspective. I really enjoy these long dark nights in with the family - on the one hand, it is cosy and comforting. While, I do miss the long days and the light....

Somewhere between worlds is where we find ourselves at the moment - at this time of year our gut lining is it's thinnest, making detoxing easier. But also meaning that toxins can move back and forth when the digestive system is not in a healthy state.

Of course the most exciting thing about right now is the change. If you cannot sense all of these energy shifts taking place on the earth at the moment - try to take some time to slow down and get into this new groove. Things are really starting to move as far as higher consciousness is concerned.

And where does that leave all of us? Well, if you have been actively taking part in creating your life, working on eating better, exercising and focusing on what you want here - you are on the right path. Regardless of what anyone out there says to the contrary - awakening is a physical process and you can't do that without your body's involvement. 

Now is not the time to succumb to sugar, sweets and the pure rubbish on offer - each of these are strategically placed to pull you back down to the lower dimensions. Walking the spiritual path is all about overcoming these obstacles and addictions. You cannot bring them with you. 

This weekend and during these coming dark days before the light returns is also a great time to reflect on all you are hoping for, dreaming about and attempting to bring about in this world. Now is a good time to refine your goals while you continue to work at making them happen.

Deeply into the shadow time of the year as we are now, reflects our own shadow self - and out of this darkness will come great ideas, plans and profound energy into the light. This is the time to actively pursue your dreams - wherever they may be.

Full moon on Lughnasadh 

Because, It Is Time

Today is the much anticipated day of the only Blue Moon this year, we won't actually have another one until (there are several definitions) 2015 or even next year when there are 4 full moons in one season. However way we want to look at it - this is a special day.

Important enough for me to plan my entire last 4 months around it - as a final destination so to speak. I had committed to doing four Master Cleanses in the four months leading up to this particular day in time. That to me means two things - this day is important (I have even dreamed of it as a graduation) and time is something special.

Of course, a lot can and has been said about time, with some people stating it doesn't even exist, however, I have lived long enough and been thinking about and working with these concepts long enough to know time is an energy force. It is a commodity, which in our current world is bought and sold.

And wasted. Interesting how something such as time, an unseen, seemingly immovable force, can be traded in the same way as any other form of currency. As an intuitive, I find it both fascinating and deplorable to read of governments and religions 'changing' or manipulating time (look it up). However that is for another post.

When I think of time, for instance, the time it has taken to complete these cleanses - this signifies energy output, as well as physically reversing the affects of time on the body by removing some of the most toxic substances from tissues and cells.

Then we can look at time as a track over which we can move, travel or transport ourselves, thoughts and emotions. I see it as a mobius strip in a continuous loop, with layers, dimensions and elements unique to it's function.

In this fashion (like a sideways 8) we are always on the time line, with our lives looping over and around again and again. We certainly do not get only one shot at living these lives we are in, indeed we have been here before, and for many of us, before that as well. 

When looked at in even this little detail, time can be seen for what it is - an element of your own energy field, a force generated within your cells, part of your energetic signature on this earth. Your time should be your own, however it is being taken, wasted, stolen and otherwise accessed in the same manner as other energy.

The term 'since time began' implies it was the original force, it was here first and has risen up out of our ancient beginnings. Your time is precious, it belongs to you as does all energy generated deep within your body. 

Of course, time exists, it's in us all, an unprecedented healer without comparison. Safeguard your heart and your time.

Have a healthy day,

April

Master Cleanse #4 Day 6

Well, on Day 6 of my fourth Master Cleanse in four months and I am feeling physically ok, but my energy is all over the place and there is much going on in the other realms and dimensions. This cleanse has been very 'supernatural' in its' clearing, and perhaps will only get more interesting!

As an intuitive I am only too aware of many of these other human dimensions as well as the realms and worlds interacting with us here on a daily basis. There has been much looting, corruption, damage and general mayhem taking place throughout these spheres as we have been accessed inappropriately due to poorly functioning energy fields.

Vaccines, fear, poor diet, fear, television and radio waves, fear, medication, fear and general chemical toxins are all contributing factors to improper development and low function of the human energy systems. That's how we all ended up in these messes that we find ourselves in - not following our dreams, far away from 'home', sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Thankfully these detoxes, cleanses and following a proper diet have gone a long way towards cleaning up my own body (it's like taking a bath on the inside) while I am following the yellow brick road and gaining insight into my own life in the process.

Last night I dreamt of being a part of a meeting, but I felt that I was more of an observer as I was able to look very closely at the people present (all men) - the atmosphere was very dark and heavy. What was interesting was they were eating my food! I can't remember yet what was being discussed, but it seemed serious and I am not certain it was warm and fuzzy.

Once again my Master Cleanse is taking me deeper into places and spaces in my body I have been pushed out of and I am delighted to be gaining ground here. This is the best feeling even if there is uncertainty and I feel I need to tread carefully along this part of the road. 

Do not underestimate how much these unseen realms interact with and interfere in our daily lives. Just because many people have lost the ability to discern these worlds, doesn't mean they no longer exist - you have just been pulled out of them and these doors shut.

Today, I am going to interact with some of those worlds in my garden because the sun is shining (mostly) again I can't think of anything better than being out and about enjoying the fresh air. Vitamin D, can't beat it - every chance we get - soak up the life giving sun!

Have a lovely day,

April
